Communication breakdown

Somehow symbolic , the pole between them showing the separation in communication. I was sitting therer with a friend, having coffee and a philosophical talk, while those tourist having their own smartphone communication. i am thinking the time i travelled a lot to India when mobiles were still not invented and having the real experience of living in a foreign country. You didn t phone the house front , maybe  now and then a letter , as i did.
Tourism has become too artificial. In Bruges , just looking nice old buildings waffles chocolat and that 's it. And i can tell you some tourists are verry rough when it comes to ordering foods or drinks...
